Tom's Band
SOLUTIONS
Prior to putting on the gig or recording and selling the DVD, are there
any IP clearance issues for the boys to consider?
n
Atomic Tigers are planning to sing a couple of top ten hits at their gig,
to get the audience warmed up. The boys need to get permission from
whoever owns the copyright in the songs before performing them. The
copyright could be owned by the relevant record company, for example.
n
Atomic Tigers will also need to ensure that they have the permission of
Robbo before they sell the DVD as he owns the copyright in the film and
the sound recording.
n
Each member of Atomic Tigers will have performers rights. If Tom wants
to keep control he may want the others to transfer/waive their rights.
